I'm wondering if you could buy two of these and stack them on top of eachother to have 6 drawers? Anyone know, tried, or have opinions?

I wouldn't recommend it because of the way the base and mattress box is designed. The corresponding chest or dresser are very nice, sturdy, and provide extra storage.

Unfortunately, this is not possible. It was first of all not designed to be used this way, so we can't guarantee you how sturdy this will be. The side pieces are also quite thin and won't be able to support that much weight. Each individual bed can hold up to 250 pounds where the mattress is sitting, not on the side.

I have stacked one on top of another, it isn't a perfect fit and I only do it when all of my glasses are clean at the same time and I'm short on cabinet space. I sure wouldn't stack more than two together.

Not sure how there would be two unless you bought two, or they are giving away one. Mine was made up of two pieces since it needs two expands to fit the drawer...

These drawer systems are not really meant to have heavy items stacked on top, they are not wood. Besides, you must be tall, if you think you would be able to see into the very top drawer, if stacked. I have several of these, side-by-side with a 12" w x 8' l board across the tops. This gives a solid surface to put things on and distributes the weight.

You possibly could be the drawers are very small. If you put some baskets inside it might work ok. It is a beautiful unit though if will work for your space.

No, that wouldn't be possible. The drawers are individual. There are four individual drawers on the top and five on the bottom.

They are terrific drawers but I have never loaded them with heavy contents. However, if you were to put books on top of the unit, I would think the drawers would work. I use mine in a closet. I am most pleased with the flat top that I use for additional storage. I actually have a portable sewing machine sitting on top of the unit.

You can stack them. I have more than 3, but they don't "nest"; they do kind of fit inside each other so yes, I stack them.

Yes. two 3 drawer carts come with this order. You can also buy one 3 drawer cart separately. The wheels are inside one of the drawers. I would suggest you not put wheels on one of the carts if you intend to stack them.

Yes. I have mine in two stacks. I think one would work as well but it would seem a little high to me.

You could, very easily, with a pair of sharp scissors or a utility knife. These are definitely meant to be put in a tray or drawer, as they are not really strong enough to use without some kind of support. I have 3, stacked in a drawer, but that's a bit awkward and I'm looking for something else to keep them in.

Hello P., If you purchase a 6 drawer captains bed then you can put the drawers on either side of the bed, the other side will be an open space, usually people put that side against a wall so that you do not see the back side of the drawers. If you have the space you can also buy this bed with the 12 drawer option....that is 6 drawers per side...the cost is more for this option. Thanks, Drew

I just received two, hoping they would stack. No such luck. Although they do have a top shelf, it is not designed to fit with the bottom of another unit, so it's not possible to sit one on top of another. Too bad. A small design change would have allowed stacking.

You "could" stack them if you don't put casters on ANY of them. But there is nothing to lock them into one another so they would be simply balancing on top of one another. If you had them loaded with heavy items in the drawers that might keep them from getting knocked side ways when you pulled out drawers but I don't think stacking them would be too effective unless you put Velcro on the bottom of each cart so that they literally "Stuck" together.

Yup, careful with the drawers though. They don't hold a lot of weight. Mine already broke. :(

I have them stacked for 8 drawers. It IS quite tall that way but I keep things like blankets and sheets in the very top AND things on top of the top of the unit...never had a problem with tipping over...and moving at all and I'm in the drawers daily.

They are stackable with the exception of the unit that contains the door and drawers. That is a single horizontal unit, which cannot be separated into two stackable pieces. I can't say whether you can purchase additional shelves but no extra ones come with it and the units are designed with holes and hardware as is. If you are handy with a drill, saw and screwdriver, I think you could purchase matching shelf board at Lowes or Home depot and make some. I did something like that to customize mine in another way. But keep in mind, this material is lightweight because it is hollow core which makes altering it a little more challenging.
